Ron Desantis seized with the help of emergency powers to build a residential facility for migrants without papers.

“The site is more than 96% Wetlands, surrounded by Big Cypress National Preserve, and is habitat for the endangered Florida Panther and other iconic species,” said Eve, executive director of Friends of the Florida Everglades, who is one of the groups, said in a statement. “This regulation is not only cruel, it threatens the Everglades ecosystem that have issued state and federal taxpayers billions to protect.”
